Answer & Explanation:Quote 1 When the video camera is on, I always feel that it is a kind of
moment of truth. Working with film never gives you this feeling of
intimacy. There are too many machines involved and too many other
people. You are alone with your video camera. Its like a pencil. You
can say things that you could never say with film. Robert Frank
Quote 2 The filmic diary is twice in the present: it offers both the
now of the recorded images (because images are always in the present
tense), and the now of the reflection and commentary on them. Laura
Rascaroli, 129.
Quote 3 The past events examined in these films are not offered as
complete, totalizable, apprehensible. They are fragments, pieces of the
past invoked by memory. Like a palimpsest, the past emerges as the sum
total of its rewritings through time. The event remembered is never
whole, never fully represented, never isolated in the past alone but
only accessible through a memory which resides in the reverberations
between events. Linda Williams, 15.
Quote 4 I look at the human sciences as poetic sciences in which there
is no objectivity, and I see film as not being objective, and cinema
verite as a cinema of lies that depends on the art of telling your self
lies. If you are a good storyteller then the lie is more true than
reality, and if you are a bad one, the truth is worse than a half lie.
Jean Rouch
